A 36-year-old woman from Kentucky staying at an Upper West Side apartment reported her wallet was stolen at a Loew?s cinema on 1998 Broadway and West 68th Street Nov. 11. She told police she was watching a movie and put her purse and jacket in the empty seat next to her. During the movie, a man sat in a vacant seat next to her items and left before the end. She realized her wallet was gone at 6:45 p.m. when she noticed her bag felt light. The movie burglar got $40 in cash and credit cards that were not used before they were canceled.
